Why Leon Works?
By 2026, over 70,000 new jobs that require more than a high school diploma, but less than a four-year college degree with average wages over $20.00 per hour will be available in Leon County and the surrounding region. The event will feature local employers as well as courses to help job seekers identify and pursue a meaningful career path and will provide students the opportunity to learn from individuals with local success stories and engage with employees one-on-one and in person.
The Leon Works Expo brings hundreds of students and employers from the Big Bend Region together to allow students to learn about skilled career opportunities.
